Good Samaritan to sponsor makeup artist's siblings' education
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that shortly after the tragic deaths of Jnr Pope, Abigail Frederick and others, the president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, took to social media to share a good Samaritan’s plans for the late makeup artist’s siblings.
It was gathered that a good Samaritan had come forward to take on the university fees of Abigail’s siblings. Not stopping there, the person went ahead to pay for their first semester education.
Not stopping there, the AGN president went on to announce that one Chukwuma Ideh also reached out to the sound technician, Precious’ father, and sent him N500,000.
